Which material is generally used for electrical transmission lines?

2025-08-12

The most common material used for electrical transmission lines is aluminum. While copper has higher conductivity, aluminum is preferred for overhead lines due to its significantly lower weight and cost. This makes it more economical for long-distance spans, reducing the structural requirements and cost of support towers.

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we provide all the necessary tools and equipment for handling aluminum conductors, ensuring safe and efficient installation.
